   Try looking them up on ThatsThem. Go to https://thatsthem.com and search for the name and location of the person whose phone number you're looking for. This site can provide phone numbers, addresses, and other details for free.

2. 2

   Use Facebook or LinkedIn. Many times, people will make their phone numbers available to the general public. If you know the person and are trying to reconnect, friend them on Facebook, or make them a connection on LinkedIn, then check their profile for their phone number.

   Pay for a service. People search organizations such as Intellius will quickly find just about anybody. A simple name/address/phone number search can be very inexpensive—in some cases, under a dollar. If you do a lot of searches, though, you would probably want to consider a more robust plan.

   • Most online searches will "find" a person for free. But to get any more information than that will have a significant cost.
   • These organizations do not always operate with information that is up-to-date. For example, while they may be able to find the cell phone number of a particular person, that cell phone number may have been discontinued several months previously.
   • Use caution when considering these organizations to ensure you are working with a legitimate company. Experience has also shown that those sites have incorrect ages or locations, even going so far as to offer to sell you the phone numbers of people who are long deceased.

   Search Google. While virtually all the name search sites will charge you to view a phone number, there is a plethora of information out there on all of us, and our phone numbers may be attached to several things. School newspapers, social media sites, local organizations we may have joined, etc.

5. 5

   Ask around. When the Internet fails, use "Sneakernet," the informal description for doing actual legwork!

   • Use word of mouth to get cell phone numbers. For example, if you need to find Dave, but don't know his phone number, ask mutual friends if they will get a message to Dave and say that you'd like to contact him. If they don't know where Dave is, either, broaden the search to check with coworkers and family.
   • Be sure to be honest with these contacts regarding your reason behind obtaining the number to ensure the best results for all parties involved.
